Spiritualist Will Give
Talk Illustrated With
Demonstration Seance
Lecture Will Show Means
Of Receiving Spirit
Messages
"Spirits? They don't exist,"
say most people. But Howard
Higgins, psychology professor
and Dean of Emerson College
in Boston, will prove differently
in his lecture "Among the Spir-its,"
to be presented at Prcsser
Hall Monday Mar. 22 at 8:15
p. m. A seance will be one
of the features of Dean Higgin's
illustrated demonstration lec-ture.
"Among the Spirits" shows
how mediums enable "spirits"
to return and deliver messages
to living friends, how such
"spirits" protect the medium
from fire and other dangers,
how they write messages on
paper held in the hands of
the person receiving the mes-sage,
arrd how they tell us our
secrets and our future.
A Strange Case
One of the incidents which
Dean Higgins will discuss will
be that of a doctor, an author
of several books and for 20
years Professor of Anthropology
in an university. This doctor,
after receiving a letter from
a medium which said that his
deceased wife wished to com-municate
with him, began an
investigation. He found many
eminent persons who believed
in spirit communication with
the living but still he doubted
Its possibilities until attending
a seance where he found the
atmosphere of the devotional
service to be genuinely religious.
Finally in the cave of her "con-trol"
the medium held red-hot
articles, placed her hands in
a flame, let her hair fall into
a fire, and in her trance pressed
a hot iron against her breast
and over her heart. While in
this trance she brought a com-munication
from his wife about
things known only to the two
of them. In time he was con-vinced
and gave his life's sav-ings
to the cause.
Formerly of Miami Faculty
Dean Higgins was formerly
head of the Speech Department
in Miami University. A year
ago he left his position and
went east for a year of first-hand
study of the work done
by various mediums. Working
incognito, he gained access to
their inner circles, the results
of which will constitute a major
portion of his lecture here.

Normal captured first place
trophies in the Illinois Intercol-legiate
Debate League tourna-ment
at Bradley last Friday and
Saturday, Mar. 12 and 13. This
is the second consecutive year
that Wheaton has been state
champion in the men's division
of debating.
Entering the finals with a
three-way tie for first, Wheaton,
St. Viator, and Eureka competed
in an additional round which
gave the championship of the
men's division to Wheaton on
a complete sweep of the finals.
Normal's women's teams topped
their division with seven wins
and only one loss during the
whole tournament.
Of the Wesleyan debaters in
tie tournament, William Tyree
rnd Paul Pettit finished with
the best percentage of wins, with
three victories out of four. Maida
Rettberg and Lou Ella Mastin
defeated WVheaton's ace wo-men's
team during the tourna-ment
to place high in the wo-men's
division.
Wesleyan teams placed in the
upper bracket of colleges in
the final results, with a total
of eight wins and eight losses.
Each individual team also av-eraged
an even record for the
four rounds. The Wesleyan
men's teams tied for sixth place
in the tournament along with
Normal and several other
schools.
Norman W. Hickman and
Dean Wilson B. Paul acted as
judges during the tournament.
They also represented Wesleyan
at a meeting of debate coaches

James Hendrickson and Claire
Bruce with their company of
ten professional actors will ap-pear
in Presser Hall on Tuesday
Mar. 30 giving "The Merchant

"Macbeth" in the evening of
the same day. The speech de-partment
is sponsoring the
group and proceeds are to go
for the purchase of a voice
recorder and the equipment of
a studio for a class in radio
speaking.
Mr. Hendrickson has devoted
his life to the stage presenta-tion
of Shakespearean charac-ters.
He appeared in a high
school production of "Twelfth
Night" with William Powell and
the two have since been close
friends. This started him on
his career which then took him
to New York.
Tenth Year of Company
Hendrickson appeared with
the companies of Mantell and
Lieber and then with Miss Bruce
a member of the Mantell com-pany,
he organized his own
company which is now on its
tenth annual transcontinental
tour.
In view of his training and
experience with the greatest
Shakespearean actors of this
generation, it is not to be won-dered
that such men as the
head of the Speech Depart-ments
of the University of Wis-consin,
Ohio Wesleyan Univer-sity,
and others have acclaimed
him.
150 Tickets Sold
Wesleyan students will not
want to miss seeing this finest

combined with a perform-ance
of genuine pleasure and
entertainment in the theater.
Interest is evidenced in the fact
that already more than 150
tickets have been sold to sur-rounding
high schools.
Admission to Wesleyan stu-dents
is 30c in the afternoon
